Summarize an interesting story from mythology that your god is a part of: When Hepheastus was born he couldn't walk. His mom didn't like that so she threw him off Mt. Olympus. When he landed he landed in water. He was taken in by some mini gods. Hepheastus then wanted to get back at his mother. So he made a golden seat and sent it to her. The seat was a trap. When she sat on the seat, she fell into the trap. He did end up letting her go, but he wanted to marry Aphrodite.
